Product Notes

Biography of Sore Eyes Sore Eyes, a four-piece blend of up-tempo, alternative, radio-friendly rock, has a youthful and engaging sound that is aggressively passionate with a pop sensibility. This rock quartet is comprised of lead singer Shi Eubank, drummer Chris Whitham, bassist Landon Fox and guitarist Jeremiah Lipscomb. The band is known for taking each member's unique musical style and fusing them together to form a eclectic mixture of old and new. To some, the sound is soul and pop. To others, it's paving a way for a new era in rock. Sore Eyes originated in Memphis, Tennessee in 2006 per the meeting of Shi and Jeremiah who later recruited the talents of Chris and Landon. Once the line-up and the chemistry was complete it was time to hit the road. Their ubiquity on the national touring scene has been with the likes of Saving Abel, Egypt Central, Trust Company, Framing Hanley and most recently as direct support for Shinedown.

Brett has also produced MySpace.com phenoms Framing Hanley. Sore Eyes self-titled EP is set to be released on January 24, 2009 and their fans are holding their breath in anticipation.

Lead singer Shi Eubank couldn't agree more and added that'...music is music and it's just about enjoying what you're playing.' With musical influences that include such bands as The Used, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Saosin, Incubus, Hopes Fall, Paramore and Alexisonfire the musical possibilities are endless.
